So contrary to the people that jumped down RedHat's throat we now have official confirmation that there is an ongoing investigation (some argued there was no evidence of such) and that when the investigation is complete the full details will be released. Fedora essentially has confirmed what those of us with patience were suggesting when the original complaints about cover up surfaced.

Fedora intrusion update

rahvin said "...full details will be released."

but, the announcement said no such thing. it actually carefully hedged what would be said. thus: "...the Fedora Project's intention is to publish a more detailed report on the matter."

"more detailed" is nowhere near saying that one would release "full details". "more detailed" is what one says when one is NOT going to provide full details.

in some ways this is even more disturbing than the prior almost complete silence.
